Ghosting + IPAQ
ginno:
Hey guys
Just wondering, I think I read somewhere that the IPAQ overcomes the ghosting problem(+ other problem can't remember what it is called) as opposed to a keyboard hack
I have programmed my IPAC to my own custom keys and when to play a bit of Street Fighter II only to find it was very un-responsive. So i went back into WinIPAC to test the buttons were working.
Here I went crazy witht he Player 1 buttons and noticed when my brother would have trouble getting his player 2 buttons to register.
The IPAC dosen't use a matrix like a keyboard does it?? Should this activity be normal?? Has changing the key strokes to my own caused this problem?
Can anyone shed some light on this prob?
Cheers guys...

USB or PS/2 connection?
The I-PAC has a limit of something like 14 simultaneous keys plus modifiers in USB mode, unlimited in PS/2. Shouldn't be a problem in normal gameplay, but if you're mashing buttons in WinIPac you might notice it.
Otherwise check your wiring. . . (maybe run ghostkey and check for a stuck Alt key, etc.)

My first thought is that you are probably using CTRL and ALT in your 1P button array.
If so, the computer may be trying to send commands, rather than game data, from the other keys pressed.

Ctrl and Alt actually HELP the USB limit problem.
That could be the case in WinIPAC, but MAME shouldn't be affected, assuming that's what he was playing SF in.
